Steph will actually have to play defense next series. Won’t be much dancing.

Much respect for the Nuggets.

I really, really hope they can somehow get help for Jokic... I'd absolutely hate seeing him waste his prime years with this kinda team.

As for the Warriors, with the way they play, they won't go far IMO. Too much ups & downs during the same game, effort problems, etc.

Jokic was poor the first 2 games but absolutely spectacular the last 3. Gave Denver a chance in all last 3 games with a SEISMIC difference in supporting cast. Nothing more he could do. Mvp

The Magic and Rockets easily have a better team without Jokic. He'd actually have some scoring help on those teams lol


That is saying a lot those teams are pretty bad. And also consider AG was one of the best players on that magic team where the roster really didn't change much.

Murray alone if he returns healthy will be a difference maker but MPJ is an abysmal contract.... He has recurring back issues.

Horrible pass. Gordon had nowhere to go. Almost Bobbled it and was a poor decision.

Curry needs to chill with the showboating. Y’all barely beating an injured nuggets team

It’s part of the overall decline I think. It sucks.

Incredible fight by Jokic and the Nuggets. Huge respect for their heart.

Great to see the sportsmanship here.

Just wish we could have gotten full team vs. full team.

I still don't understand why Will Barton gets so much playing time. He's soooo garbage

Draymond immediately over to Jokic so he can be the first to dap him up. Respect after their series-long battle.

There's no words to describe how much I hope the Grizzlies sweep the Warriors. Them becoming good again rekindled my hatred, good god.

Denver’s defense is what lost them this series. Sadly Murray & MPJ aren’t known for doing much on that end either.
